What They Do…

The Urban Light Youth Center (ULYC) is located just a few blocks from Chiang Mai’s Red Light District. The Center is a place where boy’s, ages 14-24, can seek 24 hour shelter and refuge from the many harsh realities that life on the street offers.

Education & Empowerment: Provide boys with English based services including but not limited to english, life skills, music lessons, professional development and vocational training.

Prevention and Awareness:From educating the public in the U.S and Thailand about boys being a part of the story to empowerment youth camps. Awareness is a very important key to prevention in these boys and further exploitation.
